I'm sorry, but I really don't understand any of that.

All I know is that when I connect to a research IPv6 network (which  
often happens at IETF meetings), I have huge difficulties connecting  
to my stuff at home.

This is an example of how this works:

# traceroute6 chinng-mren.abilene.ucaid.edu
traceroute6 to chinng-mren.abilene.ucaid.edu (2001:468:ff:fc3::1)  
from 2001:1af8:2:5::2, 30 hops max, 12 byte packets

In what universe does this make sense?
